A Lazy SUNDAY afternoon...

When I first heard it announced that church would begin every Sunday in 2009 at

8 a.m....

I was estatic. And I'm not at ALL a morning person.

But I knew it would be so nice to enjoy the quiet of an EARLY Sunday morning.

I can actually feel a slight, faint coolness in the air,

even if the day does turn out to be 108 degrees!

And I love being able to EAT all 3 meals including 2 breakfasts!

(One at 6 a.m. is a small bowl of cereal...but it gets you by til 11 a.m. when I make Eggs, Bacon, Hashbrowns and Toast!)

We are a breakfast eating family so WE love taking advantage of two breakfasts in one day!

But best of all,

is ENJOYING all that comes from having a

LAZY SUNDAY afternoon.

Like we were able to do this Sunday...and we still got to ENJOY a nap when we were through!

We enjoyed making SUGAR cookies!

And decorating them to our hearts content!
